Kinect in the hospital, that's what I want to see!!! Therapy and recongition. when can i start talking to my XBox and telling it what to do? I'd love Netflix "Netflix" Search, "The man who knew too little" great ideas coming!!!

how about XDev, what are the next Dev projects coming that we dont' hear about until 6 months before their RTM release? Office 20XX or Windows 8, we all know that Microsoft has changed their Release schedules based on demand. but the idea for the next gen product is formulated before the current product even reaches RTM. lets hear about those stories

Also, Stuff Giveaways! can I have a chan9 man?! or a Tshirt, (the infamous collection of MS Tshirts is astounding, and fills two drawers , Yes the are worn )

She actually finished a phd in computer science at MIT. Then Laura applied for a job at the SQL Server team as a peer to peer replication developer. But then someone noticed that she laughs exactly like Gillian Anderson (Scully from the x-files). So they said: "we have to let her make some jokes about windows phone 7 or something on our internet TV channel".

Don't listen to rhm. We all know that MS Atlanta is cool.

Cool at least as.. umm... well, playing D&D which someone born at 83 would probably do as well.

Have someone from the Surface team on your show. I was hoping there would be some updates regarding Surface at PDC10. Nothing. Would be good to hear about "Future of Surface" similar to upcoming Silverlight FireStarter. Any news/updates coming for Surface Toolkit Beta for Windows?

I've got a friend who's a SQL Server DBA and I'm sure he's really excited (no, I haven't asked him), but even though I use SQL Server sometimes, it's hard to get excited about it compared to phones and xbox and the F# compiler being open-sourced

btw. my avatar is Tux, the Linux mascot, being strung up. I set it a long long time ago to wind up a user that used to troll here all the time about how great Linux was. I don't really hate Linux. And the funny thing about it is that the picture wasn't made by Windows or Mac users, but by some BSD unix users.

As for stuff to do on the show. Isn't there a dance game for the Kinect? Since Paul and Laura have both been in cheesy spoof dance videos, I think you should have a Kinect dance-off

Since you have been using databases for a long time Paul, how is your relationship to MySQL? I have been using it for a while now because the server I have worked on has been running on it. How is Microsoft dealing with the competition to MySQL?

And for the Kinect, make a online MMPORG avatar world where you can control your avatar, interact with other users (A lot like SecondLife/Habbo). I belive this will be a HUGE success for Kinect, and Microsoft is gonna pwn even more with the Kinect (Even though Kinect is 1337 epic pwnage).

@Laura10:I thought he was a Program Manager for Surface. Well, I thought he was anyway??? I've seen some good videos he put on....http://www.microsoftpdc.com/2009/CL27http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2IZi7SNzJIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfrcG5TdLX0

Speaking of WP7. Went to a different store last night to check out new WP7 phone. But salesmen refused to show me a working version. At least they had a dummy version :), some stores don't even have a dummy and still refuse to show working version.How people are going to buy it, I don't know. All I know whenever I was and asked for WP7 these stores actually had a very nice collection of WORKING Apple products, iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. While for WP7, no ads, no mention, no showcase :(.

Nice to hear Laura's apps show is actually happening.One thing I might suggest is to put those videos on Youtube also. Not everyone is going to find them if they're only on C9. You're much more likely to stumble upon them while researching new phones if they're on Youtube and Vimeo.

speaking of lfoy's history, I was watching "We Live In Public" on hulu and found that laura was a co-host for an Online/Chat/TV website called pseudo.com. You can find the movie http://www.hulu.com/watch/192218/we-live-in-public . You can see where the movie starts talking about pseudo.com and laura's pink here around 9:37 minutes into the movie.

My XBox is used for nothing but gaming. I'm on at least 3 hours total a day and if I'm not playing MW2, COD4, or Duke Nukem 3D... I'm playing a demo or watching a video. My friends usually use it for Netflex unless they get a new game (lately it's been Black Ops); and they play that for a good few hours till they go to bed then they watch a movie. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing that the XBox is only played with 60% of the time. It's kind of like it's the ultimate media tool. I know with my PS3 THAT is actually my most used paper weight... unless I play Uncharted 2.Great video, I'm going to register and such. Nice to see Laura Foy again. :D
